Would the M5 bumpers look good with 18" wheels?

I know it looks much better with 19"+, but I'm hesitant to change the wheels because they'd have lower profile and bumpier ride...

Does the M5 tech kit look awkward with 18" wheels (124s) ?

+1 I'm on stock 124s as well with full oem m5 kit lowered on H&R race and it looks great! The slammed look made the wheels look like their 19s. Go for it!

If you haven't ordered a set yet, you might want to get one from Joe or Nerweezy from Trinity Autosport.

saw your pics but they're probably from before you installed the M5 kit as they show stock bumpers... do you have any more recent ones?
